The latest hardware at Phoronix for testing is the Dell XPS 13.3-inch (XPS9370) with Intel Core i7-8550U Kabylake-R processor featuring UHD Graphics 620. A number of interesting Linux benchmarks are currently being worked on, including Windows versus various Linux distribution performance tests as well as power consumption, etc. For some initial figures for your viewing pleasure this weekend are some of the gaming/graphics tests between Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux.

So only the Unigine benchmarks were noticeably slower on Linux. Kind of looking forward to seeing what Intel's dedicated graphics performance will be like. 2020 will be a good year for computer hobbyists; looks like RAM prices will have come down by then, Intel's new graphics card, and I think 802.11ax will have been released by then.

I have found my HD520 (which is almost exactly an UHD620, just clocked 15% lower) stutters on windows, (this was on Talos Principle), and runs a lot smoother on Linux. Hence the game was playable on Linux, but not Windows.
I can play most games at a dropped resolution & quality.
